Rice, a 6-foot-6 small forward, is the highest ranked player on DraftExpress.com’s Top 100 prospect list (26), followed [...]
Thus far, it’s difficult to say that the search for the next coach of the Milwaukee Bucks has been inspiring. It’s been relatively thorough, due diligence has been done on big names. They’ve at least explored making a splash. But the pool of candidates so far? Which one has you excited? Nate McMillan. Kelvin Sampson. J.B. Bickerstaff. [...]
In which I mistakenly refer to us as embarking on episode number eight. We also talk about the infamous Larry Sanders/Monta Ellis dispute, potential Bucks coaching candidates and off-season priorities. Oh and Producer Jeramey obliterates me in the Basketball-Reference Game once again. I hate that game and the day I came up with it.
As Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports, the Milwaukee Bucks are widening their head coach search parameters a bit, as Houston Rockets assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff The son of longtime NBA coach Bernie Bickerstaff, J.B. has already interviewed with the Detroit Pistons for their head coaching position and is rumored to be a candidate for [...]
As Ken Berg of CBSsports.com reported, during halftime of Game 3 against the Miami Heat, Larry Sanders “almost came to blows” with teammate Monta Ellis in the locker room. Sanders apparently gave a speech about playing together and not worrying about next season or being selfish. Ellis took offense to this and the two reportedly [...]

Sports, the Milwaukee Bucks will be interviewing Kelvin Sampson and Nate McMillan about the team’s head coaching job this week: McMillan and Sampson, a Houston Rocketsassistant, are two of Milwaukee general manager John Hammond’s top candidates for the job, league sources said. The news on Sampson comes as no surprise. Immediately after, [...]
Editor’s Note: Congrats to our own Buck Hits / photoshop pro Jon Hartzell. He landed an internship with the NBA for this summer after doing killer work at Bucksketball this year. Send him well wishes. – JS I don’t have anything to add to what Jeremy wrote yesterday. We’re all sad. We’re all scared. This is [...]
Spoiler alert: I could never be an NBA general manager. There are tons of reasons. Not smart enough. Lousy at networking. Don’t work hard enough. Generally a grating person to be around for extended periods of time. Poor leader. Not enough basketball experience. I’m getting a little bummed out, so I’ll just toss one more [...]
Head Coach Jim Boylan will not be brought back by the Milwaukee Bucks according to Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: Jim Boylan is out as Bucks coach, source indicates. He went 22-28 at end of season after replacing Scott Skiles. Bucks will begin search for new coach after five years with Skiles and Boylan [...]

This series has unfolded as everyone besides Brandon Jennings expected. But that doesn’t make the results any less depressing. That’s where I come in. I’m here to change the subject and find something more fun to think about besides Jennings not knowing how to shoot and Ish Smith receiving playing time. I’m going to answer the [...]
Another game against the Miami Heat, another rough night for Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. Milwaukee’s diminutive guards are capable of impressive nights. Nights filled with highlight reel fast breaks, long threes, flashy passes and swaggy celebrations. At their very best, they’re fast, capable of creating turnovers and impressive scorers. At their worst, Jennings and [...]
Another guest appearance from Mitch Vomhof. Follow Mitch on Twitter. – JS It’s hard to dislike Marquis Daniels. He’s the kind of veteran basketball player that you want to have in your locker room, the kind of guy who can help guide and develop young players. Plus he has this sweet van. That being said, [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Brandon Jennings
I’m not sure we’ll ever know what happened with Brandon Jennings in early February last season. Milwaukee’s premiere guard was cruising along through the first third of the lockout shortened 2011-12 season. Despite a road heavy early season schedule, Jennings was producing at a level far better than he had in his first two seasons. [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Monta Ellis
There was a trade in the NBA this weekend. You may have heard. The Oklahoma City Thunder made an expectation defying deal that will undoubtedly either end up a brilliant reminder of how smart you have to be to succeed in a small market or a sobering lesson on why small market teams can’t thrive in today’s [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Samuel Dalembert
“I want the team to be one of the top defensive teams. I’ve been to so many training camps and seen coaches focusing on offense, offense, offense. We came here and I’m like, ‘Wow.’ I wanted to hug coach (Scott Skiles). For the first time in seven years, the Milwaukee Bucks starting center isn’t Andrew [...]
2012 Player Capsules: John Henson
From every indication, John Henson is ready to play defense in the NBA. For his sake, I hope that’s true. Because his capability to play defense this year could have quite an impact on his career. Henson is probably going to land on his feet no matter what. He was a very highly regarded high [...]
